Colleges with big endowments could increase their incoming classes / help with student loans / enroll more students of diverse economic backgrounds

"Spending endowment resources to enroll more students would actually undermine the elite status of our wealthiest institutions, because being an elite school comes in part from how many people you exclude from attending your school...With endowments continuing to boom after four decades at our wealthiest schools, we should expect them to enroll more students from more walks of life."
